Also, feel free to challenge the loud 'moral' voices of social media who know it's going on and don't challenge them.

If you're heading to the English Whisky Festival in Birmingham, today, remember to speak with Bimber and challenge them about their finances and the financial support that goes from their company to a criminal.

I found this #Ardnamurchan on my shelf and cracked it open last night.

What a dram! I think I picked it up for ยฃ75 or so. Full of red fruits, some hay, some salinity and smoke.

Wonderful stuff.

Unfortunately until Bimber are more transparent about the previous owner and how much money he is taking from the business I don't feel comfortable supporting them.

This is why I have an "idiot savings" account. ยฃ150 in there on the 1st Jan. Currently I have ยฃ18 left due to a fixed phone screen, a parking fine and a broken chair (don't ask).

Got hit with a parking fine so had to dive into my "idiot savings" that I have for when I make mistakes like this.

Thankfully that doesn't knock on to my #Whisky budget ๐Ÿ˜‚

Bimber remain a worrying company to support, financially.

Your hard earnt money is, potentially, supporting a criminal.

That'll be Mike Fisher. He's the sales guy and quite a good laugh. Sorren is more relaxed and gets extra points for being a Spurs fan ๐Ÿ˜‚

That'll be absolutely superb. Do you know who's running it?

It was an absolute treat to try this #TheEnglish members club bottle.

Plums, jam, a delicate smoke, some kiwi?

Another fantastic mini bottle and a great reason to be a member.

The team at @circumstancewhisky.bsky.social are doing some incredible stuff. The dram on the right is a must buy, if and when it's bottled!

I visited the Grey Horse in #Kingston last night. The staff were brilliant and the restaurant in the back was fantastic.

The #Whisky options were good but I wouldn't have minded a few more special bottlings.

I can see who is running but that doesn't always correlate to who is taking money from the business.

Hence my question to @bimberdistillery.bsky.social and/or @thewhiskywire.bsky.social

20.09.2025 16:22 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

He's definitely guilty of a few offences (mainly relating to leaving the country, fraud etc) even if the original charges are not pursued.

And where is the press release to say his wife / brother are still involved? I'd like to have a read of that as, clearly, I haven't done so.

20.09.2025 13:21 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Good question. I hope for some transparency, from the business, as to where money from customers is going.

20.09.2025 12:09 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Whilst I agree there is loads more whisky I'm not sure why people suggest turning a blind eye.

It's not a bother for me to keep asking the question and seeking an answer. My frustration is the lack of transparency.

20.09.2025 10:44 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I don't feel that stepping away without an answer is appropriate.

If money is given to a company they have a responsibility to show honesty and integrity.

Too many people turn a blind eye, take favours, don't do due diligence and it continues to damage the whisk(e)y industry.

If that is something that @bimberdistillery.bsky.social believe then that's treating their Klub members with huge disdain.

Be transparent. Send one email to all Klub members and tackle the issue head on. Explain the reasoning, decision made and actions going forward. Put it all to bed.

20.09.2025 07:52 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

If that is the case (and I have no reason to disbelieve you or the team member you spoke to) I wonder why they won't say that in a public space or reply to an email about it.

Surely they'd take any opportunity they can to distance themselves from a criminal.

Hey @bimberdistillery.bsky.social and @thewhiskywire.bsky.social

As a Klub member I have tried to reach out across social media and email to find out if any money goes to previous owner Dariusz Plazewski (or his other aliases). Your silence is defeaning.

You can answer yes or no.
